Is there an option to automatically close brackets,quotes, parentheses etc in IPython?
I hoped there was a feature similar to that in the gedit plugin.
It is possible to get apps (including IPython) that use readline to automatically add a closing parenthesis when an open parenthesis is typed by tweaking your ~/.inputrc, as suggested here, e.g. by adding:
"(": "\C-v()\e[D"
Note that according to the creator of IPython automatic bracket matching can't be done in a plain readline-based application (i.e in a normal IPython terminal session). Though it's already part of the standard functionality of IPython's qtconsole (Although as commented below auto-closing of brackets is not currently possible).
if codemirror support it then it is probably possible by monkey-patch. Configurability is on it's way but long way to go. Patches welcomed.

I'm coming from VSCode to Neovim, and for the most part I've been able to accommodate/replicate the workflows and functionality I've gotten used to in VSCode in Vim. Right now, I'm stuck on replicating the Link functionality of the VSCode integrated terminal.
This lets you mouse over text like main.py or server.go:50 and ctrl-click to jump to that file or line location in your editor panes. This really helpful for jumping to the locations of compilation errors or test failures from their associated terminal output.
I've searched for existing plugins/solutions for this but haven't found any. Are there any that I've missed? Otherwise, what might be a good approach to scripting this myself?
I'm new to vimscripting, but I'd assume you could do some regex and with knowledge of the current working directory, you could infer the correct filepath to open.
Replicating one editor's workflow in another is not exactly a good idea as the two editors have—supposedly, if not why switch in the first place?—different feature sets or even paradigms. For instance, staying in insert mode all the time in Vim because that's what you are used to would make no sense because Vim derives most of its value from its modality… and you would probably also find examples in the other direction.
Case in point, compiling and jumping to errors in Vim typically doesn't involve the built-in :terminal at all. You are supposed to use the :help quickfix feature, which exists for that very purpose.
See :help 30.1 for a gentle introduction from the user manual.
It seems that I am getting this problem since version 1.18, honestly I don't remember.
With VSCodeVim installed I used to press the = key to get my code (Elixir, embedded elixir, ...) indented properly.
Am I missing something, like a configuration, that would allow me to re-indent my files without having a nagging "Formatter for file x not installed".
This is honestly the only things that nags me with VSCode so far, love the speed, the capabilities and the UI...
Just posting my comment as an answer
Try using the reindent lines command. This command should work for many languages even if you don't have a formatting extension for that language installed
Select the contents of file.Bottom right corner shows spaces/tabs: 2/4. You can click on that and indent the whole file.
I am wondering whether there is a method in emacs editor that while writing some codes (say in R or Latex) the obvious closing braces come automatically. Like if I use RStudio, the closing brace appears whenever I write an open brace. This feature is available in Kile too (talking about using Latex). By default this feature is not available in emacs (with ESS). Is there some way I can activate this feature?
Assume there are several solutions. One is here:

I use Eclipse for programming in almost any language. I also like the vim shortcuts for quick editing so I installed vrapper.
The problem is when I write a lot of code, and I just want to undo some little things. It undos a lot of chunks of code back, instead of 2 or 3 little things.
I've found some threads which seem to resolve my issue by using "set noati", but it does nothing. It doesn't matter if I use "Ctrl+Z" or "u" from vim command mode.
Can someone please help me to resolve this issue ?
The set noati seems to be the solution for that (at least was for me and other people in vrapper forums)... simply to update to the latest version of vrapper then you either specific the set noati (no ":" here!) in the ".vrapperrc" (this config file should be placed in your home directory) or you simply run the :set noati command from Eclipse vrapper.
HTH.
Here are two things that might help you.
1) Stay out of insert mode.
The way undo works is in terms of vim commands. So if you change to insert mode and type a hundred words, that counts as a single command. On the other hand, if you press escape every once in a while to get out of insert mode, undo will behave much more pleasantly.
Once you get more familiar with vim, you will want to do less and less in a single insert. So the undo problem will likely be reduced as well.
2) Temporarily disable vrapper via the toolbar icon.
This is an alternative if you absolutely need the default undo behaviour of Eclipse.
I am very familiar with emacs--and I realize that there is nothing that it cannot do--but there are some things that it does not do well or efficiently. So, being between projects I am open to the idea of switching to a full-featured IDE such as Eclipse.
With muscle-memory being what it is, I would like to make Eclipse as emacs-like as possible. I have already discovered the excellent Emacs+ plugin which gets me about halfway there. However, I am still missing the following features of emacs which I routinely rely upon:
shell: It's not just a shell, it's also a buffer.
occur: Search->File... is close to what I want, but I just want it to search the current file--which might be a text file, a logfile, or a shell buffer, or whatever.
align-regexp: This awesome little command in emacs helps me make files more readable, and alignment helps with keyboard macros.
What plugins would you recommend to solve these issues? Are there any other emacs features you miss in Eclipse or plugins you would recommend?
Please, no emacs/vi zealots asking why on Earth I would do such a thing.
For the shell you have WickedShell
Ctrl+F is enough to trigger a Search within the current file. (does not create a new buffer with matched lines)
Only Mark Occurrences is about highlighting occurrences, but that is not as advanced as the Emacs function.
Formatter options can emulate "align-regex" function, as described here.
Preferences -> Java -> Code Style -> Formatter.
Click 'Edit' on the profile (you may need to make a new one since you can't edit the default).
In the indentation section select 'Align fields with columns'.
Then, in your code Ctrl+Shift+F will run that formatter.
I can confirm Brian's suggestion (Emacs key-bindings). What I do to resolve this dilemma is to use both Emacs and Eclipse simultaneously. They are both very good at reporting external changes to files so there is minimal chance of tromping on edits (but it can happen). More to the point, you can leverage the strengths of both tools without having to give up either one. The combination of using both tools and Eclipse having Emacs key-bindings makes this quite satisfactory for me.
IIRC (It's been a while since I've used eclipse) eclipse has a "use Emacs key-bindings" mode. I believe that there's also the option to tell eclipse to use emacs as its own editor...
